Abstract
A fault current limiter is provided. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the fault current limiter includes a switch whose contact point is opened when a fault current occurs; a current limiting element configured to limit the fault current when the fault current occurs; and a diode being serial-connected to the current limiting element, wherein a breakdown voltage of the diode is higher than a voltage drop by an impedance of the switch when a normal current flows.
